- Precautions on Use
The following warnings and cautions are very important. Be sure to observe them.

WARNING
- Keep your face away from the exhaust and discharge ports. Material may suddenly come out. There is
a possibility of losing eyesight if it strikes eyes.

- Gasoline is a high volatile fuel. Do not use it to clean the pump in any case, otherwise ignition or
explosion may be caused.

- Keep your fingers away from each port to avoid injury from moving parts.

- Modification of this pump may lead to death, bodily injury, or a failure. Do not modify it in any case
because it involves a risk.

- The operator and maintenance engineer should read the operation manual thoroughly before operating
the pump and performing maintenance in respect of this pump.

- Always wear proper safety equipments(facemask, ear plugs, and safety shoes, etc.) when installing,
operating and disassembling the pump.

- Make ground connection when working with flammable material or in explosive atmosphere. Rapid
pumping of material can result in static electrical charge.
Also, be sure to provide proper ventilation where a flammable atmosphere may exist.

- Execute the daily checkup.

- Use this pump according to the product specification.

- Attach a valve(for stop in emergency) or regulator to the air supply pipe to keep supply air pressure
under 0.7 MPa.

- Discontinue it when you feel a hazard or abnormality during the work. And correspond according to the
troubleshooting.

- Stop pump operation immediately when a drum becomes empty. Running the pump dry will cause
excessive vibration, resulting in reduction of pump life and damage to other equipment.
Be especially careful when pumping explosive material. Mixture of an air and vaporized material can
explode. If there is any possibility of running dry, install a dry-run protection device like a liquid level
control.

- Before maintenance operation, be sure to stop air from being supplied to the pump, and release the
internal pressure (both air and material) of the pump. There is danger such as spouting of the material
when the maintenance work is done with air supplied.

- Do not discharge material directly onto the ground. Dispose of harmful materials according to the
requirements specified in SDS or local regulations. Also, dispose of pump according to the local
regulations after removing residual material from inside pump. (Please contact industrial waste disposal
service.)

- (SH type only)If using a wall mount bracket for installation, the wall must be strong enough to withstand
vibration of the pump.
 3/3

CAUTION
- Keep hands and fingers away from the pump during operation to avoid injury from moving parts.

- Use pump for the material suitable for the specification. Parts may be corroded and material leak from
the damaged parts can lead to environmental pollution. Also, follow handling notes (SDS) of the
manufacturer about the handling of the material used.

- Take fall-prevention measures if using a slim or light tank. Risk of falling will be increased due to shift in
center of gravity caused by change in the material level in a tank.

- Take protective measures against rainwater and dust. It is likely to lead to the pollution of the material.

- Be very careful about the edge of the pump when you lift the pump. Your hands might be injured.

- Be very careful about your posture when installing the pump. Back injury may be caused by lifting the
pump.

- Do not touch the surfaces of the pump and the hose when pumping high-temperature material. Risk of
burns exists.

- Stop the air supply source after the end of work when not using this pump for a long time such as
nighttimes and holidays. Also, open the valve of the exhalation port and liberate pressure in the pump
and the hose. There is a possibility of polluting facilities because of the damage of the hose and the
leakage of the valve. Such a secondary disaster becomes a responsibility on the user side.

- (DR type only)Place a drum on a flat, level surface to position pump horizontally against a ground.
Operating the pump on a slope may cause a fall or tip-over due to shift in center of gravity caused by
change in the material level.

- (DR type only)Material remaining inside or on the surface of the pump may spill out by inserting or
removing the pump into/from a drum. Be very careful not to get your clothing dirty.

1.1 Names and Materials of Parts
[Drum pump] [Siphon pump]

1.2 Contents of Package

This machine is packaged in a corrugated fiberboard case.
Please make sure no damage during shipment and no missing accessories after unpacking as soon as possible.
Please make sure no loose screws, piping connections, and fastener components.
Please retighten if any screws, piping connections, and fastener components are loose.

2. Principle of Operation (Fig. 1)

The Yamada air-powered pump is a reciprocating type pump that is driven
by compressed air. The pump consists of an air motor section to drive the
pump and a lower pump to pump up the material as shown in the
Fig. 1 at right.
When the compressor feeds compressed air to the air motor, the air piston
starts up/down reciprocating motion by means of the function of the built-in
air changeover mechanism.
This function is transmitted to the piston of the lower pump by the
connecting rod that connects the air piston of the air motor to the piston of
the lower pump, and gives up/down reciprocating motion to it.
The material is pumped into the lower pump by the up/down reciprocating
motion of the piston of the lower pump and discharged by pressure from
the discharge port. Fig. 1

3. Installation

CAUTION
- Apply sealing compound or sealing tapes to the male screws and tighten tightly when the pipes are
connected. Be careful not to allow the sealing materials to enter the piping.
Do not apply the tip of the terminal (two thread ridges) to maintain conductive property of the ground.
(However, no applying is necessary if it will be connected to the hose union.)
Check that there is no leakage or electrical continuity in each part after connecting the piping.

1
 3.1 For the Drum Pump
1) Unpack and take out the pump.
2) Fix the pump with a vise and connect a prepared material hose to its
discharge port. When this is done, it is recommended to purchase and attach
a hose union to between the pump and hose. (Fig. 2)
3) Unplug the inlet port (2”) of the drum can and screw in the bung adapter
connected to the pump. (Fig. 3) Fig. 2
4) Insert the pump into the bung adapter. After the lower end of the pump (foot
valve section) hits the bottom of the drum, lift the pump by 2 - 3 cm to secure
a gap between the bottom of the drum and the foot valve. After determining a
position, tighten a wing bolt of the bung adapter to fix the pump. (Fig. 4)
<NOTE>
- The procedure is also available for resin type drums. Screw in the upper
screw of the bung adapter into the drum. Fig. 3

CAUTION
- When using a covered vessel such as a drum can, be
sure to loosen a vent plug so that the inside of the vessel
will not be evacuated.

3.2 For the Siphon Pump

1) Loosen the bolts of the pump fixing band for the mounting bracket (option,
product number 800400) to remove the band. Set the pump onto the
bracket, support with the pump fixing band, and fix with accessory bolts.
When this is done, tighten the bolts to such an extent that the pump will
not rotate. (The tightening torque is 12N-m or less.) If tightened too much,
the plunger in the suction tube will not work. (Fig. 5)
2) Connect the R1-1/2 inch at the hose inlet port of the suction hose
Fig. 4
assembly (option, product number 850126 ) to the suction port of the
pump. When this is done, wind commercially available sealing tape
around the male screw if the pump and screw it in.
3) Unplug the drum can (2B) and screw the bung adapter attached to the
suction hose assembly into an unplugged hole and insert the suction tube.
In the same manner as in 3.1-4), adjust a gap between the bottom of the
drum and the suction port of the suction tube.
<NOTE>
- The material hose used should have pressure resistance of 1 MPa or more
and be oil resistant. When an adequate hose is not available, place an
order with our dealer for a special purpose hose by the following
production number.

CAUTION Fig. 5

[Precaution for installation]

- Do not directly connect the piping to the pump. Direct
connection damages the piping by vibrations when
running the pump, causes noises, and in case of the drum
pump, makes it impossible to replace the drum can and
disables maintenance of the pump. (Fig. 6)

 Be sure to use a flexible hose to connect between the pump and

piping.

Fig. 6

 3.3 Connecting the ground wire

WARNING
- Make ground connection when working with flammable material or in explosive atmosphere. Rapid
pumping of material can result in static electrical charge. Also, be sure to provide proper ventilation
where a flammable atmosphere may exist.
1) When installing the pump, be sure to connect the ground wire at the specified position.
2) Also connect ground wires to peripheral equipment and piping.
3) Use 2.0 mm2 minimum ground wire.

Position for connecting

4. Air Connection The ground wire
1) Attach an air regulator (option) to the air supply port of the pump. A special purpose air regulator is optionally
provided for your use.
2) Connect an air hose from the air piping and connect to the IN side of the pump via the air regulator.

CAUTION
- In order to use the pump safely and enjoy a long service life, be sure to attach the air regulator to the air
supply port. (The air regulator consists of a reducing valve and pressure gauge.)
<NOTE>
- If the air has been supplied to the air hose, the pump will be activated the moment it is connected. Prior to
connecting the air hose to the pump, be sure to turn the knob of the air regulator in the counterclockwise direction.
- Use of the air regulator allows you to adjust a supply air pressure to the pump, improve operability by reducing
wasteful movements of the pump, thus prolonging the service life of the pump.
- The air pressure is increased by turning the knob in the clockwise direction and decreased by turning it in the
counterclockwise direction.

CAUTION
- The supply air pressure to the pump should be 0.7 MPa or less. Do not raise the pressure over 0.7
MPa in any case.

- If the air supplied to the pump is not shut off after completion of the work or at night, the hose may be
damaged or leak may occur on the valve or gun, thereby causing a secondary accident. This secondary
accident shall be attributable the user’s responsibility.
<NOTE>
- The distance for pressure feed differs depending on the viscosity, temperature, and required flow rate of oil.
Regarding details, please ask YAMADA CORPORATION or the dealer for further information.
- If the oil in the drum can has be exhausted, the pump is operated at a higher speed without oil and has an adverse
effect on its life. Stop the pump operation at once and replace the drum can with a new one. For replacing the drum
can, observe the item pertaining to “3.1 For the Drum Pump”.

5. Operating Method
1) Turn the knob of the air regulator in the clockwise direction to supply the air into the pump.
2) If the air is supplied, the pump will be activated for a while, fill the hose and gun with the oil, and stop.
3) The oil is discharged by operating the lever of the gun at the end of the material hose. Pulling the lever opens the
valve and automatically activates the pump to discharge the oil. Returning the lever closes the valve and stops a
discharge and the pump itself simultaneously.
4) Adjust the supply air pressure in accordance with the purpose of use. Normally, run the pump at the supply air
pressure of 0.3 - 0.5 MPa. When using the pump to feed-pressure the oil, a discharge rate differs depending on the
piping distance. Adjust the supply air pressure (up to 0.7 MPa) until your desired discharge rate is obtained.
<NOTE>
- When activation of the pump does not stop for a long period time, there may be a leak due to loose connection of
the hose, piping, gun, etc. or idling due to worm piston packing or valve seat inside the lower pump. Stop an air
supply and check.
